"Additionally, we would hope that each member/user would do their best to facilitate a culture of collaboration and positive reinforcement, so that we can all share our passion for art while realizing our personal ambitions, and developing friendships." (Quoted from the Renderosity TOS) This mean anything anymore, or should there be an addendum that reads: "as long as it doesn't promote someone else's commercial website (based on our assesment), or otherwise interfere with our own commercial efforts." I originally came to Renderosity as a Poser 'hobbyist'...I toyed with it now and then, ever since Poser 2 (Still have my original CD). Since then, Poser and related have become a very big part of my life. I'm going to be doing my first commercial exhibition at GenCon this year. Granted, it's only a few pieces...but it's certainly more than I ever expected. Along the way I've made a lot of what I consider friends...Xena, Sturkwurk, Richabri, Rena, Valandar, Jeweldragon, Bloodsong, KattMan, Audre...and that's hardly the full list. I don't care if they're selling items or not...they've helped me develop as an artist. I like giving that back...and if that means I post a link to a site that sells things R'osity doesn't, or if I recommend a subscription site, then so what? I'm helping someone else develop as an artist...same as was done for me. My own 'commercial' site is already in the works. Why? Because I've evolved to that point, and it's time for me to do so. But damned if I'm going to stop folks from directing others to stuff I can't or don't provide...because they'll come back for what I DO offer. Just my two cents... ChromeTiger
